    I hate the "go compare" adverts, where this guy sings really obnoxiously about car insurance. If you've never heard of it, youtube them and see the awfulness.

    I also dislike the adverts where there's a group of women sitting around discussing their bowl movements. and then some obscure product comes on screen. WHY?!

    I hate the Go Compare ads too, always mute the telly. BUT the other day when I was looking for a car insurance quote, that was the site I went to as it was the first one that came to mind, so as much as I hate to admit it, their ads work :(

    That creepy child who sings "potty time" and grabs his crotch. So innapropriate!
    Can't remember what nappy (daiper) company that is for, lucky I don't have to buy them!

    And one that used to be on here in Australia (maybe just in the west) for a camping store who showed people playing computer games or watching movies and shouted "that's not living, this is living" as they disembowelled a fish or destroyed the fragile sand dune environment by ripping up and down in a petrol guzzling four wheel drive. I can only assume that I'm not the demographic they were aiming at, but my brother in law didn't get the gift voucher he wanted!

    Yup - what makes them think that ANYONE would be seen in glittery bright pink hot pants! NOONE looks good in them - they even make the skinny girls look chunky!

    i agree with the go compare adds they drive me nuts, but i do like the we buy any car.com ones for some reason, not to watch but i always end up singing the song. my bug bear has to be cilit bang, i mean who is barry scott? and why does he have to shout? and i remember when it first came out they promoted it a product that could do away with several bottles of stuff, but if that is really the case than why do they have so many different types now?

    bring back the wimpy mr muscle!

    and for heavens sake please let that child go for a poo at pauls!!!

    LOL My mother in law bought me some when I had a migraine.. Not only did it not work it made my skin feel weird. She couldn't understand that if my Rx migraine drugs didn't work the next step was Demerol, if that fails it's to the hospital for whatever it is they give me there. Not sure what it is but within an hour my pain is gone and I am in loopy land for the next 8 hours :bigsmile:

    The drug commercials...where the side effects seem worse than the symptom...

    Or

    The lawyers that say things like "have you taken Paxil and your baby is deformed, we can help you get compensation"...it's disgusting

    That and the commercial with the tiny baby giraffes...I'm pretty sad I can't get one of those as a pet...LOL
    I totally want a tiny baby giraffe too! I love how he blows the guy a kiss!
    Can't stand Kit Kat bar commercials with all the crunching.... Just thinking of it makes me cringe.

    I totally want a lap giraffe too .... however, I can't for the life of me tell you WHAT product that cute little giraffe was trying to sell me!

    The new Nissan Leaf commercials make me thing everyone at Nissan is a moron.

    Its "what if everything ran on gas" Commercial and they show this guy fueling up his Chevy Volt and watching a guy get into a Nissan Leaf and they ramble on about doing your part or some crap.

    What they fail to realize is the Volt is 1/2 electric as well. They are trying to bash it in their commercial but its the same as their car minus the fact that you can actually drive it all the time and just not when its charged...lol

    The General Insurance... I don't understand what the penguin has to do with anything, and the shoddy animation drives me bonkers. I just don't get it. I do not trust that insurance company because of their half-baked, rather odd commercials.

    Has anyone seen the Mercedes commercials where the drivers are actually saying things like "I was falling asleep" and "I wasn't paying attention"....REALLY?!? Man I hate those commercials. They seem to actually be supportive of awful drivers because supposedly the car is going to alert you to any potential danger should you fall asleep while driving.

    There are some lawyers with a commercial to sue the prescription drug companies, and the way they phrase the commercial is ridiculous. "If you or a loved one have experienced heart attack, stroke, or DEATH, call ###-####". Really? If I experience death after taking this medication, I'm going to sue the drug company...I'll get right on that.

    I HIGHLY dislike Flo from Progressive, please retire her NOW.

    I have to say though, I enjoy watching some of the state farm commercials and love the Drill Sargent therapist commercial from Geico.
